> many thanks for your answer. I tried the profile conversion before I posted my question but it seems that I cannot imitate the "simulate black Ink" feature of the soft proof by this method. If I use rel col the contrast is much too high compared to the soft proof. With perceptual rendering the contrast looks more similar but is still a little too high. Would you recommend to use the curves tool to adjust the black values of the converted image or is there any other trick?
Well first, it sounds like Tyler's method of assigning might be better.
The difference comes down to this: If you print your image to your printer *without* any profile conversion, then the assigning method (then converting to sRGB) is correct.
The conversion method I suggested is best if the profile would be used to convert the image prior to printing. It sounded like you were happy with the soft proofing which *likely* used the same basic steps. On the other hand if you had "preserve color numbers" checked in the proofing setup, then that's Photoshop's way of assigning, the soft proofing…

Steve
